life and work

During the Nazi era, Aldinger was a member of the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts as a group leader for garden, park and cemetery design. As a professional representative who aggressively represented National Socialist ideas, he was a member of the jury in the competition for the Third Reich Garden Show in 1939 on the Killesberg in Stuttgart and a member of the jury for the planned (but not held) Fourth Reich Garden Show in 1941 in Liegnitz . His public commissions in 1938 included the design of the Dietrich Eckart facility in Ebersbach an der Fils .

In 1955 the young garden architect Dietrich Brunken († 1990) entered his office. Aldinger was responsible for the design of the green spaces in the Stuttgart new building areas Bergheimer Hof and Giebel and the 1961 Federal Garden Show . Also in 1961, together with the sculptor Franklin Pühn , he designed a memorial for Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in Heidenheim an der Brenz, financed by former members of the German Africa Corps . From 1962 the office operated as Aldinger und Brunken , after Aldinger's death in 1972 as Brunken + Partner .

In 1971 Aldinger was awarded the Cross of Merit on Ribbon of the Federal Republic of Germany for his achievements in landscape conservation .
